<span class="postbody">My name is Walildia, I'm 20 yrs old and I am from Michigan.
<br />
<br />
I was recently told by my physician that my cholesterol level was too low. The only information he suggested to me was to eat eggs. I do feel that eating eggs only was not adequate enough for raising my cholesterol level.
<br />
<br />
I have been researching on various foods other than eggs to establish a proper diet plan to balance my cholesterol but have not been successful.
<br />
<br />
I understand that most in the medical field do not believe that cholesterol can be too low but I am result of it being so, along with the repeated mood swings, depression, and anxiety.
<br />
<br />
I am in no way knowledgeable about the medical field, I am solely going by what was told to me by my physician and the research that I have come upon.
<br />
<br />
My question to you is what foods would you refer to me to help me balance my choleserol?
<br />
<br />
I thank you kindly for reading this.

<br />
<br />
Recently my mom who is 75 had glaucoma (some kind of stents inserted). She used to be an avid swimmer, but now she is afraid that if she returns to swimming she will damage her eyes. Her doctor says it would be fine. Does anyone have any advice or comments?
<br />
<br />
Also, since the surgery (about 3 months ago) her eyes have been tearing allot any advice or comments on this.
<br />
<br />
Thanks you for any help

<span class="postbody">My question is this: I am 36 years old and have had several bouts of losing the vision in my left eye. Twice I woke up in the night and had lost the vision, could just see shadows, and had some balance issues. the last few times have been when i have been in bed and turned off the tv, and then the left eye vision is very dark and I can just see shadows. Been to eye dr. everything is fine, neurologist and had every test imaginable. they decided that it was TIA's. I am on Plavix, which of course caused major bleeding during my monthly cycle, so they added a healthy dose of provera to the mix. This last week i have had 2 of my vision episodes. Could this be the provera counteracting the plavix or could this not be TIA's at all?????? I have stopped the provera, which i will say while i was on that i had none of the usual bruising from the plavix and now that i'm off of the provera my bruises are returning, so could the provera just be working it's way out of my body, and reaking a little havoc while it's still in there? Oh, and I also suffer from terrible migraines, but have never had a migraine w/ the eye episodes.

<br />
<br />
The history --
<br />
<br />
A month ago, my wife visited our dentist regarding some pain in one of
<br />
her lower molars. Her pain is not acute, but does bother her when she
<br />
chews. Our dentist took some x-rays, prescribed 500 MG of Keflex (3x
<br />
per day), and suggested she visit an endodontist.
<br />
<br />
On the first visit to the endodntist, he evaluated her and suggested a
<br />
root canal. At the root canal appointment, he attempted to numb her
<br />
tooth with a local anesthetic but the tooth would not go numb. He
<br />
prescribed 500 MG of Amoxicillin (3x per day) and told her to come back
<br />
in a week. This last week he again tried to numb her tooth but it
<br />
*still* wouldn't go numb. He is now suggesting an IV-based anesthetic.
<br />
<br />
My questions --
<br />
<br />
Is this normal for a tooth to be so difficult to numb (even with the
<br />
antibiotics)?
<br />
<br />
Should we see a endodontist with better anesthetic skills?
<br />
<br />
Thank you!

<span class="postbody">I had a four quadrant scaling and root planing performed by a general
<br />
dentist. Nine months and two weeks later, I was referred to a periodontist
<br />
by a different general dentist. I showed the periodontist documentation
<br />
showing my previous SRP. The periodontist recommended having the SRP again
<br />
in all four quadrants. He performed the SRP on my upper quadrants. This took
<br />
him five minutes. (I looked at my watch before and after the procedure.) On
<br />
another visit, his hygienist performed the SRP on my lower quadrants. This
<br />
took approximately five to seven minutes. In other words, the SRP took
<br />
approximately 10 to 12 minutes for all four quadrants.
<br />
<br />
The insurance company denied the SRP claim, stating that it only pays for
<br />
necessary work, in terms of generally accepted dental standards. My
<br />
insurance plan has no documented limitation for SRP procedures per year, so
<br />
the denial came as a surprise to the periodontist's billing staff member.
<br />
The insurance company will re-review the case based upon further
<br />
documentation from the periodontist and my prior charts. The bill for the
<br />
SRP is approximately $600. I would greatly appreciate insight from the
<br />
dentists here.
<br />
<br />
1. Are two SRP procedures ever clinically indicated within a one-year
<br />
period?
<br />
2. Can a four quadrant SRP be performed in 10 to 12 minutes with clinically
<br />
acceptable results?
<br />

Thank you very much for your input.

<span class="postbody">Hi,
<br />
<br />
I lost a lot of weight, 200+ pounds, through severe caloric
<br />
restriction. Things were going fine until a couple of months ago when
<br />
I started developing an odd set of symptoms:
<br />
<br />
1) Severe edema of the feet, calves, thighs, and abdomen. Even my
<br />
face is puffy in the morning.
<br />
<br />
2) Food cravings. Suddenly I just cannot stop eating sweets. Not
<br />
meats (although I love meat) but I'm specifically craving sweets,
<br />
doughy/yeasty bread, creamy things like vanilla ice cream or custard
<br />
filled donuts. I just can't seem to stop eating.
<br />
<br />
3) Enlarged Liver
<br />
<br />
4) Low Iron
<br />
<br />
<br />
The doctor has run different blood tests on me every week for the past
<br />
two months. I've had echochardiograms, sonograms, etc. Except for the
<br />
those 3 things, everything else is completely normal.
<br />
<br />
Any ideas about what might be wrong?
<br />
<br />
Thanks!
